Re: 5th god slot on mount olympus

It can't be Athena cause of her armor and weapon, can't be Morpheus either.......logical choice is Artemis....

The only thing with Artemis too is that if you're playing the "Rise of the Warrior" social game, her blade will be an unlocked item as a reward for getting to Rank 4, which I'm guessing will be available to everyone regardless of which god they align with.

Re: 5th god slot on mount olympus

Artemis's Blade is already going to be a reward from Rise of the warrior. My best guess would be Helios. The gods that you have fought and or saw fight was Zeus, Ares, Poseidon, Hades, Hermes and Helios. Hermes has no offensive weapons and no offensive powers of any kind. That leaves Helios. Helios i guess would be elemented by LIGHT, or maybe specialize in defence, hence Helios's Shield and all the armor he uses in the games. If theres a 5th, it's Helios.

If there is a 5th and Helios is chosen, his statue would look amazing in the tutorial on Mount Olympus. Imagine him standing in his chariot with the fire steeds... behold the power of the Sun!

Re: 5th god slot on mount olympus

Helios also has a relatively big part in the GOW story. Kratos saves Helios from Atlas in Chains Of Olympus. He is a Formidable Foe to the Titans and Kratos in GOW3 and also is the god of the Sun. That sounds like enouph to have your statue on the top of Olympus.

The reason I started this thread to begin with was I noticed there was a 5th spot on Mount Olympus during the tutorial and thought it would be neat to speculate what it could mean. We're just discussing the possibility of if they were to release a 5th god to align with as DLC, who it could be. This doesn't necessarily mean that there will be a 5th god (or possibly more???) after the retail version comes out.

You're right though, as of right now the four gods that will be in the game at release are Zeus, Ares, Hades, and Poseidon... but who knows if it will stay that way in the future.

I remember seeing an interview with Todd Papy the director of Ascension (I think the interview was with IGN but i'm not sure; Adam Sessler was the interviewer and I'm not sure who he works for nowadays since leaving G4). When asked about about future DLC involving new MP maps, new weapons/armors, even new gods to align with Papy seemed to imply that yes there will be DLC and anything could be fair game.
